Chapter 1012

Even though everyone was very surprised in their hearts, not expecting that there was such inside information between the Rock and Takigakure.

But everyone could not understand what the Rock's aggression against Takigakure had to do with Konoha.

Seeming to see through the thoughts in everyone's hearts, Mizunuki Ryosuke continued to explain, following the words of Takigakure leader Shibu.

"If you all can figure out the reason why the Rock sent troops against Takigakure, you won't doubt why the Rock would move against Konoha."

"Actually, the reason is very simple; the Rock moving against Konoha is not because they want to move."

"But because the Rock Ninja have to move."

As Ryosuke's voice fell, everyone was even more confused.

Is there any inside story worth scrutinizing here? And "have to move"? This is as ridiculous as Zhang San killing the disabled person next door and then defending himself by saying he had to kill the cripple next door, otherwise he would be killed in return "873".

The Ninja World is a place where the strong prey on the weak; even if the Rock Village is severely damaged, it is not an existence that Takigakure can contend with; launching a war against Takigakure is still bullying the small with the big.

Where is there any logic of "having to move"?

Among everyone, only Shibu's eyes flashed with a hint of realization.

Because previously when Mizunuki Ryosuke was in Takigakure, he had explained this point to Shibu.

If the Rock Village chose to move against Konoha, the reason would probably be the same as when they invaded the Land of Waterfall.

"Everyone, have you ever thought about one thing."

"The Rock Village had just suffered a major defeat, so why would they take the risk to invade the Land of Waterfall?"

"According to normal logic, what the Rock Village should do is recuperate, right?"

As soon as Mizunuki Ryosuke said this, everyone fell into deep thought again.

That's right, logically speaking, the Rock Ninja had just suffered a major defeat not long ago, so there was absolutely no reason to move against Takigakure.

Not to mention what impact it would have if the Rock Village really occupied the Land of Waterfall, even the risks involved required careful consideration.

So what exactly is going on?

Everyone raised their heads and once again placed their gaze on Takigakure leader Shibu; others might not be clear about the various reasons, but this Takigakure leader must certainly know in his heart.

Seeing this, Shibu glanced obscurely at Mizunuki Ryosuke, and after seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke's tacitly approving gaze, he dared to speak.

"Actually, the reason is very simple."

"Because at this time, the interior of the Rock Village is extremely disharmonious, and the Fourth Tsuchikage lacks prestige and cannot handle the contradictions within the village."

"So at this moment, the Rock Village's leadership is urgently wanting to transfer internal contradictions to the outside."

"And the best way to do this is to launch a war."

After obtaining Mizunuki Ryosuke's approval and having Mizunuki Ryosuke as a backer, Shibu's voice also gained a bit more confidence.

Hearing this, a flash of realization crossed the Third Raikage's eyes, and he also understood the key points in his heart.

Soon, the others also gradually figured out the key points and understood the various reasons.

Being able to become a leader of a force in the Ninja World, how could there be any foolish people? They didn't understand before, it was just because of the information gap brought about by unequal intelligence.

And now, through the intelligence from Shibu's mouth, once they figured out the problems inside, they immediately understood.

In the previous war between the Rock and the Cloud, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki "disappeared" before the battle, and the Fourth Tsuchikage Huang Tu had to hastily succeed to the position.

And with Huang Tu's prestige, it was obviously difficult to suppress the contradictions generated within the Rock Village due to the failure of the war, so the Rock Village was urgently in need of a war to transfer the internal contradictions.

Because as Mizunuki Ryosuke said, in order to alleviate their own internal contradictions, the Rock Village had to launch a war externally.

Therefore, whether it was Takigakure or Konoha, it actually made no difference to the Rock Village.

Although there were reasons influenced by grudges, more of it was forced by the situation.

"The Rock Village's role in the Ninja World today is just a fence-sitter that follows the wind."

"Once the Rock Village sees us take action, they will inevitably follow suit and choose to take advantage of the fire to rob Konoha."

"Because whether it is from the perspective of practical survival interests or the hatred accumulated in the previous war, the Rock Village has no reason not to take action."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said leisurely, his expression still calm, which served as the final explanation for Shibu's words.

Hearing this, everyone at the table looked at each other, especially the Third Kazekage, whose wavering expression was already obvious.

"With the Rock Village's containment, the situation will become a siege of Konoha by the four great nations: Rain, Sand, Cloud, and Rock."

"At that time, I think with the strength of the four great ninja villages, they will dispatch dozens of powerhouses who have reached the 'Kage' level, as well as a ninja force of about thirty thousand..."

"At that time, what will Konoha use to block it?"

"You all must not forget, even though everyone suffered not-insignificant losses in this war, did Konoha really suffer no damage at all?"

"A ninja force of thirty thousand is probably something Konoha would find difficult to mobilize even in its prime."

Saying this, a hint of solemnity flashed across Mizunuki Ryosuke's entire body, and an imposing aura radiated from him, causing everyone's hearts to sink slightly.

The giant net that Mizunuki Ryosuke had been connecting and weaving since the Second Ninja World War was finally exposed before everyone's eyes at this moment.

This giant net woven by Mizunuki Ryosuke had already quietly tightened around the prey's body before the prey in the net had even reacted.

"Thirty thousand ninja troops, plus ten Kage-level powerhouses, can indeed wrestle with Konoha."

Just then, Sansho-uo Hanzo, who had been silent, spoke; although his voice was still hoarse, it carried a hint of imperceptible excitement.

Although such a massive combat force had been gathered, it was not difficult to hear from the subtext of Sansho-uo Hanzo's words.

Even though the situation was like this, he only thought they could wrestle with Konoha, not that they would definitely win steadily against Konoha.

After all, that is Konoha!

Konoha, which has dominated the Ninja World since the beginning of the pattern of one country, one village!

Before the result of the war actually appears, no one knows how many trump cards this hegemon of the Ninja World holds in its hands.

"However."

"Lord Mizukage, there seems to be a point in your words that is not quite right."

"The number of the Allied Forces should be more than just thirty thousand, right?"

"Did you forget one object? When the Rain, Sand, Cloud, and Rock are all fighting against Konoha."

"I want to ask, what is the Mist doing? And what are you doing?!"

Sansho-uo Hanzo's expression changed abruptly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Mizunuki Ryosuke's face.

And after Sansho-uo Hanzo's pressing, everyone suddenly realized that Mizunuki Ryosuke's words just now did not include the Mist!

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded; that's right! What is the Mist doing at this time?
